This listing is for a beautiful Hidehira nuri lacquerware bowl with matching spoon made around 20 years ago.  They are made of wood and both pieces are decorated with a gold diamond pattern over a red and black lacquered background.  They come with their original paper storage box, as well as a Japanese language profile paper about Hidehira lacquerware. 

Hidehira nuri refers to lacquerware produced in Hiraizumi city in Iwate Prefecture.  It is said that Hidehira lacquerware production began the end of the Heian Period (794-1185) when local warlord Fujiwara no Hidehira summoned craftsmen from Kyoto to produce wares for the ruling Oshu Fujiwara clan. Hidehira pieces are robust in their construction and they are often decorated with makie or gold leaf.  A common pattern is the yusoku design which combines Genji cloud designs and diamond motifs inspired from the Heian period.  Hidehira pieces are known for their durability and refined elegance.
